I use them and they do not efect arrow flight. I really don't think they have any cons IMO I like them because you can see your arrow when is is stuck in the ground after a shot and it makes it easier to find and to see the placement of your shoot on the animal. IMO no real pros or cons.

I've tested them but don't use them. One way they can affect or impact arrow flight is if you are comparing them to an arrow with a conventional nock.
A Lumenock is heavier and will change your arrow's balance point by moving it back further which reduces the FOC % so it will change it's point of impact in comparison to a conventional nock. This change is impacted by bow speed and arrow weight as well. Some impacted more than others depending on these spec's.
A word of caution is that if you reduce your FOC to much you COULD get yourself to a point where flight is OK with field points but the lower FOC results in finicky broadhead flight. If your FOC is low enough that your arrow is just beginning to "flutter" broadheads typically will reveal and compound this situation.

I think they are junk! The wire thats used to trigger them smashes the ends of your arrow if you use carbon and shoot it enough. I'm shooting a Fred Bear truth at 75lbs with beman ics hunter 340's 27in arrow and didnt notice a change in arrow flight. I think it might hurt ya if you shoot 50 plus yards.
